Untrue. There was a spam remailer software package that offered a The
Bat! X-Mailer header as one of its camouflage options. Along with
Outlook Express and a few others. The spam was sent by this mean and
not by The Bat!, making ignorant ISP techs react in an insane manner.

This URL should be passed on to any ISP found to be arbitrarily
banning TB messages.

The option exists freely and I have use it. Check my headers.

I suppress the X-Mailer header by the configuration option and use
this macro:

%SetHeader("User-agent","TB/%THEBATVERSION (by RITlabs)")%-

To insert my own variant. I am proud to use TB, but have to
acknowledge that some very poorly educated ISPs out there are behaving
irresponsibly.
